GEARIT

GEARIT — Terms of Service

Effective 11 October 2026 · Last updated 31 October 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Iam The Protagonist Ltd, trading as GEARIT and The It Group ("we", "us"). We are a private limited company registered in England and Wales, company number 16842280, registered office 60 Hay Lane, London, NW9 0NB. Email: theitgroupapps@gmail.com.

By creating an account, downloading or using GEARIT (the "app") you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the app.

1. What GEARIT does

GEARIT keeps track of your camera, audio, lighting and computer gear in one place. You add what you own, wire it together on a board, and the app scores the setup and points out its weakest link. It also helps you plan what to buy next to a budget, compare products side by side, keep serial numbers and receipts for insurance, and share a public list of your gear if you want to.

Prices, values and product details are estimates. Catalog prices are UK reference prices, converted into your currency with exchange rates from third-party services (the European Central Bank's rates through Frankfurter, and ExchangeRate-API). Details about gear the catalog didn't already know are worked out by a third-party service from the name you typed. Scores, recommendations and values are a guide, not a valuation, a quote or professional advice. Check a price with the seller and a value with your insurer before relying on it.

2. Who can use it

• You must be at least 13 years old.
• You must give true information when you sign up and keep it up to date.
• One account per person. You are responsible for everything done through your account, and for keeping your sign-in details private. Tell us straight away at theitgroupapps@gmail.com if you think someone else has used it.
• You may not use the app if we have previously closed an account of yours for breaking these terms.

3. Your licence to use the app

We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own use, under these terms and the rules of the store you got it from. You may not copy, modify, sell, rent, reverse-engineer or redistribute the app, or use it to build a competing product. Everything in the app that isn't yours — the design, the code, the name, the logos — belongs to us or our licensors.

4. Purchases

• Prices are shown in the app before you buy, in pounds sterling for UK customers, including VAT where it applies.
• GEARIT's unlock is a one-off purchase, not a subscription. It is made through the app store on your device and billed by that store, and nothing renews. Restoring it on a new device through the same store account is free.
• Refunds for store purchases are handled by the store under its own rules. We can't issue them directly; ask the store you bought from.
• Your right to change your mind. If you are a consumer in the UK you have 14 days from purchase to cancel a contract for digital content under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. By unlocking the content immediately you agree we may supply it before that period ends, and that you lose the right to cancel once the content has been fully delivered.
• If we change a price, the new price applies to purchases made after the change. Nothing here affects your statutory rights.

5. Gear lists you share, and how people treat each other

• Anything you put on a shared gear page stays yours. You give us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, display, copy and transmit it so the app can work, and to show it to anyone you give the link to. We don't sell your content.
• You promise your content is yours to share, doesn't break the law, and doesn't infringe anyone's rights or privacy.
• Zero tolerance. No abuse, harassment, hate, threats, sexual content involving anyone under 18, impersonation, spam, scams, or anything illegal. We may remove content and suspend or close accounts without notice for any of this.
• Report it. GEARIT has no messaging or profiles; the only thing people can see of each other is a gear page they were sent a link to. To report one, email theitgroupapps@gmail.com with its link. We act on reports within 24 hours and remove content that breaks these rules. You can take your own page down from the app at any time.
• We may moderate, but we don't pre-screen everything and we aren't responsible for what other users post.

6. Acceptable use

Don't: break the law; interfere with the app or anyone else's use of it; probe or overload our systems; scrape or harvest data; use bots; bypass any security or payment; or use the app for anything it isn't for. We may suspend or close accounts that do.

7. Third-party services

The app uses services we don't control — Apple and Google for sign-in, backup and billing; Vercel and Upstash for hosting; Anthropic for identifying gear the catalog doesn't know; and Frankfurter and ExchangeRate-API for exchange rates. Each has its own terms, and we aren't responsible for them. Links out of the app, such as a web search for a product, go to sites we don't run.

8. Availability and changes

The app is provided "as is" and "as available". We work to keep it running but don't promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we may change, pause or withdraw any feature. If we withdraw the app entirely we'll give reasonable notice and you can export what's yours before then where the app supports it.

9. Our liability — read this one

• Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else UK law doesn't let us limit.
• If you are a consumer, we're responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss that wasn't foreseeable, or for business losses — the app is for personal use unless we've agreed otherwise in writing.
• Beyond that, and to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost data, lost profits, or loss caused by things outside our reasonable control, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of £100 and what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.
• Your statutory rights as a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 are not affected.

10. Ending things

• You can stop using the app at any time and delete your account in Settings › Your account › Delete your account, or by emailing us. Deleting it removes your data as described in the Privacy Policy.
• We can suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or if we withdraw the app. Where fair, we'll tell you why.
• Sections that by their nature should survive — content licences for things already shared, liability, governing law — keep applying after your account closes.

11. Apple and Google

If you downloaded the app from the App Store: these terms are between you and us, not Apple; Apple has no obligation to support or maintain the app; if the app fails to meet a warranty you may tell Apple, who may refund the price you paid, and beyond that Apple has no warranty obligation; Apple is not responsible for any claim relating to the app or your use of it; and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm you aren't in a country under a US government embargo and aren't on any US government list of prohibited parties. If you downloaded it from Google Play, Google's own terms also apply to the download and to anything you buy through Google.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The effective date at the top changes when we do, and for anything that materially affects you we'll tell you in the app or by email at least 14 days before it takes effect. Using the app after that date means you accept the new terms; if you don't, stop using the app.

13. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings there, and nothing here takes away protections you have under the law of where you live. If you have a complaint, email theitgroupapps@gmail.com first and we'll try to sort it out within 14 days. UK consumers can also use the online dispute resolution options the Citizens Advice consumer service points to.

14. Everything else

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the app. If any part is found unenforceable the rest still applies. We may transfer our rights under these terms to another company in a sale or reorganisation; you may not transfer yours. Not enforcing a term once doesn't mean we've given it up.

15. Copyright complaints

If you think something on a shared gear page infringes your copyright, tell our designated copyright agent:

Thomas Junior Modeste

Phone: +44 7751 588602

• What your notice needs. Your physical or electronic signature; the work you say is infringed; where the infringing material is in GEARIT (the gear page's link is best); your name, address, phone number and email; a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorised by the owner, its agent or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for them.
• If we removed your content by mistake. You can send a counter-notice to the same agent, saying what was removed and where it was, and why you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
• Repeat infringers. We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe others' copyright.
